There are definitely good and bad things about this hotel - overall, my recommendations would be, if you don't get your hopes up in the first place, you may have a pleasant stay.
First of all, I would mention that it is possible that there are two separate buildings to this hotel, across the road from each other. The side we stayed in most definitely is not what is depicted in all advertising for the hotel - it was run down, outdated and quite shabby, with the smallest bathroom I have ever seen. The shower didn't drain until the water was switched off, leaving you standing ankle deep in dirty water.
The beds were comfortable enough, and although the bathroom was beyond tiny, the room was very large (although the space not utilised all that well). On the plus side, there is free, fast wi-fi available in all areas of the hotel, including the room, and the lobby area was quite nice, with a lovely bar. Breakfast was included in the room price and included a reasonable selection of food and drinks.
The hotel is situated about a half hour's walk from Old Town Square, although there is a tram stop about a five minute walk away which will take you into town in about ten minutes.
The hotel staff were mostly very nice, and all spoke good English.
I can't comment on whether this is a regular occurrence, but on our last night, what sounded like the fire alarm went off three times, for a minute or so each time at about 5.00 am. Each time I was about to get up and get ready to evacuate, the alarm would stop. A good thing, given it was about -12 degrees outside.
Basically, you have a 50/50 chance of having a very pleasant stay indeed, or being rather disappointed with your room, as we were. I just think travellers should have fair warning that chances are they may not necessarily be staying in a room that is of such quality as is depicted. We may have chosen to stay elsewhere knowing this was the case.
